The last race of the year also greets Kimi's career in the red

The last stage of a very long season will end on Sunday night, in the evocative setting of Yas Marina. But the 2018 Formula 1 on track does not end with the weekend of Abu Dhabi: Tuesday and Wednesday, in fact, the track will host the last test session, which is already a step in the future, intended as it is to testing and development of the Pirelli tires for next year. For Scuderia Ferrari, the program includes the presence of Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc, or the formation of 2019.

The Grand Prix of the Emirates is also an opportunity to greet the last race in red by Kimi Raikkonen, after eight seasons with the team of the Cavallino. The first period - that of the world title - lasted from 2007 to 2009, the second from 2014 to today. Kimi is already the fifth driver of all time for the number of appearances and GP disputed; with two more years of career ahead of him, there are prerequisites for becoming the number one!

The transfer of the Scuderia began on Saturday with the first departures, the test team will return on Thursday 29. Apart from a possible rain shower in the next two days, the weather in Abu Dhabi does not reserve any surprises for the activity on the track, with temperatures in the order of 30 degrees for tests and races. The night, as always, will add charm to the weekend.
